Josh Henderson recently sat down with Celebuzz.com to discuss his role as John Ross on TNT’s reboot of Dallas. The Q&A covered everything from his steamy sex scenes with co-star Leonor Varela to the moment he found out he would be playing the role. Here are some of the interview’s highlights…

On auditioning for the part of John Ross…

"When I heard that the show was coming back, I just felt this weird connection. I remember calling my agent and saying I really feel right for this, and I have to audition for JR’s son. So, I went in one day and I remember sitting across from another guy auditioning and he had a cowboy hat on and I thought, “uh okay?” And I went in, and I did my audition and I felt really good about it, to the point where I went back to my car and I shut the door and I screamed. Cause it just felt right!"

On preparing for sex scenes…

" At the end of the day, those are the scenes that you just kind of have to go there, and take yourself out of everything real and just go for it. So, we had a lot of fun together. We got to do some fun things."

On the show's recent success...

"There’s been a circle of emails going around from TNT, Turner and from Warner Brothers to the cast sojust saying ‘congrats’ and ‘we’re so excited the world is falling in love with Dallas again.’ It’s been kind of an exciting time. It’s been a long time coming. I’ve been attached to this show for about a year and a half. It’s been a while and I’m glad and hope that people will continue to tune in. We did really well."

On working with the original "Dallas" cast...

"We definitely wanted to come in as the young generation and have them kind of accept us, and hopefully they are happy to what we brought to the table. But at the end of the day, they are all such amazing people and so genuinely nice. Actually none of us felt we were being judged, they just accepted us with open arms. Like I was talking about with Jesse, whether it was scenes with me and Larry or me and Linda, it kind of made me comfortable. I wasn’t being judged, I could just kind of do what I do for John Ross and it really seamlessly worked. And it kind of felt real."
